All of the single axle 6ton military trailers I have seen have this suspension setup, since the springs float on both ends (no eyes), the radius rods by design hold the axel in alignment.
However, I do see your point that the radius rods also prevent axle wrap.
Here's the tm for this converter dolly, the parts in question are called "radius rods", they hold the axle in alignment. I have the same axle and suspension under my m146 trailer.

Your doing a good job on this!
That looks like the same 6 ton axle that's under the m146 trailer.
If you decide to rebuild the brakes I have some wheel cylinder rebuild kits available.
I would pull a 6ton trailer (m146 or m373) with the converter dolly behind a cargo truck, use the trailer for camping purposes and the cargo truck bed to fill up with parts for the swapmeet!
